B: it was these people that lived in our neighborhood
|
B: and I'd just go over there.
|
B: Every Thursday night, they went to the theater.
|
B: They had permanent tickets
|
B: and they'd give me,
|
B: it was supposed to be two dollars an hour for two kids,
|
B: but they would usually give me like five dollars more at the end of the night.
|
A: Oh, wow.

B: I'd go over there
|
B: and there would be like, uh, you know, there's, we have these videos over here.
|

|
B: And there's some Oreos in the, in the cupboard.
|
B: And there's some Coke
|
B: and you know, just help yourself to anything.
|
B: So it was, it was, you know, the best,
|
A: Wow.
|
B: that was a long time ago
|
B: and that was only for a few years.
|
B: Just once a week.
|
A: Yeah.
|
B: But I don't know.
|
A: I think people that treat their baby-sitters like that get a lot better baby-sitters.
|
B: Oh, yeah.
|
B: That's true.
|
A: And they stick around for longer.
|
A: Because I mean after I figured out I was getting eighty cents an hour, I said bag it.
|
A: And I quit you know.
|
B: Yeah.
|
A: I was just like but I'm wasting my time.
|
B: Yeah.
|
A: I really liked the little girl and everything
|
A: but I thought ...
|
B: She does take up,
|
B: and they do take up a lot of your time.
|
B: That ...
|
A: Yeah.
|
A: Yeah,
|
A: I ...
|
B: They're very demanding
|
A: Uh-huh.
|
A: Well, and she was really spoiled.
|
A: They didn't make her eat anything she didn't want or anything.
|
A: So, basically, they fed her cookies for breakfast and lunch.
|
A: And the mom was a dentist
|
A: and I was just like, we've got to quit this.
|
A: And she's like no I don't want her to starve.
|
A: But I don't want to make her eat something she doesn't want to eat
|
B: Oh, shoot.
|
B: My mom would be like, uh eat it or don't eat anything.
|
A: Eat this or <laughter>.
|
B: That's right.
|
A: So, I can see the concerns on what different people want.
|
B: Yeah.
|
A: Because some,
|
A: I mean, you know, if I was setting up a daycare, there would be so many needs you would have to customize your service to.
|
B: Yeah.
|
B: Uh-huh.
|
A: Cause some parents won't put up anything.
|
Where others would.
|
B: I think,
|
B: yeah,
|
B: I think the best way to go would just be to, to be able to do it out of your basement.
|
A: Uh-huh.
|
B: And just have like at the most, like ten kids.
|
B: And all from maybe people that you know type of thing.
|
A: No.
|
B: Instead of trying actually to set up a daycare where you don't know the people coming in and ...
|
A: That's true.
|
A: I, I'd love to do it.
|
A: But I just don't trust people now.
|
A: There's too many lawsuits.
|
B: Yeah.
|
A: I just, I think it's a bigger risk than ...
|
B: More than what it's worth?
|
A: Yeah.
|
B: Yeah.
|
A: It would scare me.
|
A: With,
|
A: I don't know,
|
A: cause I'm sure some of them have good reason to sue
|
A: but I think a lot of them are just, you know, they're negligent
|
A: and they get happy about money
|
A: and they just want to sue you.
|
B: Yeah.
|
B: Well, yeah.
|
B: That's,
|
B: yeah,
|
B: exactly.
|
B: When you have like a Kindercare or something set up and when they get greedy or whatever, that's when they have maybe one assistant to twenty kids or something
|
A: Uh-huh.
|
A: Oh, yeah.
|
B: And that's just, you know,
|
B: you can't watch that many little kids getting into things at one time
|
A: That's impossible.
|
B: You know, you never know what they're going to get into.
|
A: I have a girlfriend that works at a daycare
|
A: and she takes her little girl with her
|
A: and, I mean, she told me about half the people that they hire
